Article: Fast Company // 3 priorities to move Europe ahead

The private markets landscape is changing fast. Ivan Latanision, Allvue’s Chief Product Officer, shares his perspective in Fast Company on how competition is evolving beyond geography.

Although the U.S. still leads, with a private capital market more than three times larger, technology is starting to close the gap. AI and digital workflows are helping European firms overcome structural challenges like fragmented regulation and slower decision making.

“European firms have long been constrained by familiar structural realities, including fragmented regulation, smaller capital pools, and slower decision-making. Those factors still matter. What has changed is the role of technology. AI and digitized workflows are beginning to level the playing field, reducing the impact of structural disadvantage.”

As private markets become more complex, modern operating infrastructure is becoming a key differentiator. Firms that invest in integrated data, automation, and analytics can improve efficiency, accelerate insights, and meet growing demands for transparency. Latanision outlines three critical priorities for success:

1. Start with connected data to eliminate silos and create a consistent, reliable foundation that enables meaningful AI adoption and reporting
2. Design workflows for scale, not exceptions by embedding automation into core processes, reducing manual work and supporting growth without added friction
3. Apply AI to create clarity, not complexity by integrating it into everyday workflows so teams can make faster, better-informed decisions while maintaining control and governance

Ultimately, European firms do not need to reinvent their operating models. With the right technology foundation and disciplined execution, they can close the gap with the U.S. and turn operational efficiency into a lasting competitive advantage.
